Knight's Ridge Empire #4
Deviant Knight
USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Tracy Lorraine brings you more in her dark mafia, high school bully romance series.
Whoever said to keep your friends close and your enemies closer… was right.
Being around her is the worst kind of torture.
Emmie is an obligation I can’t avoid… an oath I can’t break.
And having her in my life is the last thing I want or need. But thanks to my father, I have no choice.
This Family—this life, is my future, and I’m sure as hell not going to let some spitfire from the wrong side of town get under my skin and in my way.
When the time comes, I will take what I need and walk away. I’ll finally be free from her shadow and she will know the truth, even if it leaves her broken.
The only problem… she might not be the only one left in pieces.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

“Relax, Hellcat,” he groans in my ear as if he’s in physical pain. “You were fucking made for me. You can take it.”
Deviant Knight did not disappoint -
5 start read, would give a million if I could
Our FMC has a sassy attitude and a mouth to match, she’s fine being on the outside and doesn’t connect with people easily. Knights Ridge gives Emmie the friends she didn’t know she needed as well as the cocky self assured nemesis she really didn’t want.
Theo is anything but kind, he will soon be in charge of an empire and doesn’t scare away from getting blood on his hands.
From the outside Emmie and Theo can’t stand each other, Em a MC princess and Theo a Mafia Prince but are the prince and princess as different as their families would have them think?
The chemistry between the two of them is enough to incinerate those who come between them, every remark and interaction only adds to the angst.
But watch out the smut and spice comes in hard and fast - be prepared
P.s Theo shares a certain kink with Seb 😉
The killer cliffhanger had me shook and throwing my kindle across the room 💀
DK was my first read of 2022 and I’m not sure anything will top it, what an amazing way to start the year Tracy!

What happens when a MC club Princess and a Mafia Prince's paths collide? Something explosive and gritty and raw. Emmie and Theo's story in Deviant Knight by Tracy Lorraine is exactly that. Sinful. Devious. Heartaching. This enemies to lovers romantic suspense was extremes of passion and drama and action.
This is the first story of a trilogy and book 4 in Knights Ridge empire series. Emmie is struggling to find her own space in her new life with her father and stepmother even when they are so loving and supportive. She has found friends( deadly and edgy ones) in her school. And one big enemy. Theo Cirillo. His family thinks Emmie is the enemy and its his responsibility to find out the truth and make her pay. He doesn't really believe it and Emmie drives him crazy.
This was a sharp and hard and explosive romance alright. The characters are layered and flawed with loads of attitude and complex emotions. Emmie is such a fierce one. She doesn't care about what others think about her. She is sassy and just a queen in her own right. Theo is the kind of a-h01e hero you love to hate. Gorgeous. Arrogant. Ruthless. Cold hearted. He has to be ready to take over their mafia empire and his darkness is on another level. Emmie and Theo are like gasoline and matchsticks. They hate each other but that hate is only cover for this sizzling hot connection they feel. They hurt each other and taunt each other and still give in to this pure filthy passion. The twists were just never ending and my head is still a mess from all the secrets. It was unputdownable for sure.

Yes, we finally get to Emmie and Theo. After watching the two of them in Stella and Seb's stories, that back and forth hate that the readers know will just have them in flames when they finally do decide to do more than just spew hate. Now, I do think I have missed something along the way when it comes to Emmie's dad and Piper, I think there is another series out there that covers them. This is the first of Emmie and Theo's stories so do not be shocked when it ends the way it does, I have just come to expect these to be more than one book. I will say this was a fantastic start for the couple and am eager for what comes next. I give this 5 stars.

I think for better understanding one should read from the start of the series bec things seemed to be happened between the MCs of this book there, which were kinda confusing here bec no clear explanation was given exactly. ⁉️
I’m not sure how I like the characters yet.
Anyways, this book didn’t quite deliver as much I expected it to. But it was interesting enough for me to read the second book.

I am completely in love with this series. Deviant Knight in the first book in Emmie and Theo’s trilogy. And man, did Tracy Lorraine do the unthinkable, she managed to make me fall for not just one but two couples in this new series, back to freaking back. Whereas Seb and Stella are a match made in hell, Theo and Emmie, they are just their own brand of effedupness. If you are looking for soft, sweet and submissive characters then this isn’t for you because this book is dark, dirty, and full of badassery and crazy characters. The author is my dealer and supplied me with another dose to get my fix of this world. I am addicted to her writing and the characters. Theo is straight fire and Emmie is the mofo match that lights him up. They have explosive chemistry and you never know who is gonna end up on top. This is unputdownable and one I highly recommend!! Bring on book 2!

I absolutely loved Emmie and Theo.
Theo is obsessed with Emmie but he’s disciplined. This is the best kind of angsty. So close but so far away from what he wants.
This book is set around mafia and MC families. It’s gritty, breaks the rules and steamy.

My goodness, Emmie was a fantastic heroine, who really got a raw deal in life. Luckily, she's a strong girl who can go toe to toe with what Theo puts her through & still give him the finger. Theo has a task from his father, and that task is Emmie, but things are a bit more complicated since they're electric together. He's not kind to her, and he's definitely hiding a lot from her so I was on the edge of my seat waiting on that other shoe to drop because with the diabolically brilliant Tracy Lorraine, it's going to be something BIG & it was (& I know it's only scratching the surface). I will say that while I really wanted to throat punch Theo more than once, these two were super HOT HOT HOT together, but his life is not his own so doesn't have a choice about things. There are a ton of twists of course which lead to a brutal cliffhanger ending that had me sitting in one position for quite some time after I had devoured the book, so now the wait begins for that next part! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

*claps hands like a loon* I was so freaking excited to be getting Emmie & Theo’s story. God these two are life. What do you get when the MC princess and the Mafia Prince come together? One wild, crazy and epic ride of your life so strap in and hang on. Emmie is the one girl that can give as good as she gets when it comes to our gorgeous Mafia Prince Theo but what these two don’t realize is that they are made for one another. These are two people who didn’t know they needed each other until it happens but the journey to get there is going to be a rough one to say the least. Their chemistry and sexual tension is undeniable and bleeds through the pages. Whenever they are together sparks fly and it ignites something deep in both of them that they can’t ignore. This author was knew to me in 2021 and I am so glad to have found her. Tracy Lorraine’s work is phenomenal and she write some of the best cliff hangers ever and with Deviant Knight you are left wanting to throw your kindle at the freaking wall while you sit on the couch with one epic book hanger over dying to get your hands on the next book.

I’m was so excited to be continuing this series and the next trilogy up was Theo and Emmie. We left them off in Wicked Princess with all the enemies to lovers vibes filled with thick tension.
In the first three books we meet Theo and see how he is always a mask of calmness with a darkness hidden beneath, I mean when you’re the heir of the Greek mafia is there anyway else to be? The only time his masked cracked was when Emmie is around. Theo is not a fan of Emmie for many reasons, one major one being he thinks she was in on the plot against Stella and another being his father, the Boss wants him to get close to her. Problem is Theo is already a little too close and in a stalkerish way not a good way. Something about Emmie’s biker bad-girl vibe just gets under his skin and not to mention as these two grow close they can’t help but give into the sexual tension between them.
This trilogy puts you on a wild roller coaster of lies, deceit and murder. This relationship is not easy and as secrets are revealed the trust they thought they built is shattered. Theo’s possessiveness and Emmie’s inner wild child continue to clash over and over. But when she’s in trouble who better to protect her than her……husband? 👀

This is book 4 in the Knights Ridge Empire series and I absolutely love the characters that Tracy is bringing us. This is Theo and Emmies story and in what a hot couple these two are. This is the first in their trilogy.
Emmie is an MC princess while Theo is mafia and you just know something powerful is about to happen. Emmie is having a hard time at the moment and she feels like everyone is lying to her. While they are being forced to do things at This young age you just know something is about to go wrong. Theo is holding onto a secret hoping she won't find out yet as he is not willing to let her go.
This book will rock your world and you will love reading about this couple. I love how Emmie always put Theo in his place and they are perfect for each other.
The suspense is high and This book is full of dark twists and the hot chemistry between these two is HOT!!
This book is non stop and I am loving these mafia books. This book will keep you gripped and I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. Once you are on This world, Knights Ridge Empire you won't be going no where. I highly recommend this nail biting series that is full of suspense.
This author is the queen of cliffhangers and you will be gripped.
This author writes absolutely fabulously and I am loving Theo, Emmie, Stella and Seb. 💜

What happens when you get two stubborn asses who “hate” each other?!
EXPLOSIONS!!!
Theo and Emmie are blazing hot! Their push-and-pull, their games, their cutting words are all addictive. Their story is a page turner that had me on the edge of my seat. And well, also had me needing to cool off with some ice cold water.
This mafia is no one to be messed with. Dark and broody, he captured my dark heart long before this book. His possessiveness and his hint of psycho (which we may have just gotten a glimpse into because something tells me this man has a whole lore more psycho in him), stirs up all kinds of emotions.
But what’s even hotter?! A MC princess that can hold her own. And when it comes to Theo Cirillo, Emmie is his perfect match. She gives as good as she gets and knows exactly how to play with fire.
These two are meant for each other, but the road there is going to be a long, hard battle that I am here for!!

Emmy and Theo's story. Emmy and Theo have a hate- love relationship. They hate each other but have a strong attraction that leads them to hookup a couple of times before Emmy discovers that shes "married" to Theo. Emmy's MC president grandfather doesn't bat an eye when Theo basically kidnaps her from the club presumably bc he's sold her to Theo and his mafia father. Emmy discovers her mother bleeding to death in Theo's basement and blacks out angry at him for hiding her mother and the marriage. Cliffhanger ends there.

I was given an advance readers copy of this book and have decided to write a voluntary honest review. Okay I was expecting Theo to more like Seb. But I think Theo is a lot darker than that. I still love him though ho figure lol. Emmie I feel for this girl, shey had rough childhood, now she feels like shey doesn't belong with her friends. I honestly feel this girl innocent and I hope I'm right. Oh heads up Theo is filthy :) I can't wait for next one. That Cliff damn!
January 19, 2022
Theo is a mafia prince and Emmie is a mc princess. The two are enemies with an attraction that is just as strong as the hate. Theo's family thinks Emmie is the enemy and want him to make her pay. Theo is cold, cunning and ruthless as he will take over the mafia some day. Emmie is trying to fit in with a new life with her dad and step mother. They support her, she's just getting used to a new life. Emmie is fierce, gives as good as she gets and a good match for Theo. A good read.

Good
I was so looking forward to Theo & Emmie’s story as we knew their chemistry was off the charts in the previous 3 books for Seb & Stella’s story.
I’m not sure what the hell Cora blamed Emmie for but it can’t be true and how the hell are they ******* what did all that folder say.
I’m glad we are still seeing their circle of friends from the other books also.
That ending though 😬😬 she isn’t going to be happy and I can see another bumpy ride from these two in the next book.

I am obsessed with this series and these characters. Holy S**t!
How can one author be able to create so many unique characters and the perfect storyline for said characters!
Tracy Lorraine trumps herself with every book she releases! I am seriously shocked at what happened during Deviant King and I can‘t even think of whats about to come because I am blown away!
Emmie and Theo are both super stubborn and honestly just perfect for eachother. I wanted them to get together so hard and that ending! Girl I need more! NOW!

4/4.5 ⭐️
Deviant Knight maybe the fourth book in the Knight’s Ridge Empire series. However it is the first book in Emmie and Theo’s trilogy and told through both of their perspective.
What do you get when you take two complete opposites Emmie Ramsey and Theodore ‘Theo’ Cirillo from two different worlds the Princess of MC Club and the Mafia Prince? An explosive fireworks show!
Emmie and Theo’s adventurous story was sort of a rarity one to see, considering it wasn’t the typical Fast Burn Enemies to Lovers story that I have come to expect from Tracy Lorraine. Which definitely wasn’t a bad thing at all, in fact it's what I liked about it.
Deviant Knight may have ended up being a Slow Burn IMO, but it’s what made the growth of Emmie and Theo’s relationship more realistic. Watching the slow tempo pace with the suspenseful build up of if and when they would explode, giving into their sexual hunger for one another ultimately led to giving a more genuine feel to their overall relationship they had going on.
While a lot of Emmie and Theo’s relationship consisted of hate and anger with the verbal abuse and the hate steam pouring out. There were times their relationship had sweet moments, where both of them allow their guards down around each other. Resulting in sharing moments of exposing a softer side to one another, something that wasn’t expected given the tough exterior they put out. Especially when in each other’s presence a majority of the times. Showing a rare form to Emmie and Theo, that was unexpected and surprising, given their need to always fight with one another.
The journey into the start of Emmie and Theo’s story within Deviant Knight was definitely a adventurous rollercoaster ride. Especially when you add in the factor of them being from two different worlds and with everything that is going on in their lives. It resulted in a lot of angst, drama, suspense within an emotionally charged narrative that led to twists, turns and bumps.
Speaking of twists, the revelations made from the twists Tracy threw in had me shell shocked, since I didn’t expect it AT ALL. It had me wide eye in surprise, whilst also reeling with wanting to know more and what it all means. Since it’s only the beginning, something tells me there’s probably gonna be more shocking revelations to be revealed. Something I definitely am looking forward to.
Since I was expecting Deviant Knight to be kind of similar to Stella and Seb’s story, minus a few details here and there. Tracy Lorraine definitely surprised me with the start to Emmie and Theo’s story, especially since it wasn’t as similar as I expected it to be.
Once again another cliffhanger to end the story the way Tracy only knows how. Though I'm not complaining since while it was surprising, thankfully it was heart attack shocking. But that doesn’t mean I am not going to be waiting in anticipation for the next book to come to see what happens next.

Speaking of twists, the revelations made from the twists Tracy threw in had me shell shocked, since I didn’t expect it AT ALL. It had me wide eye in surprise, whilst also reeling with wanting to know more and what it all means. Since it’s only the beginning, something tells me there’s probably gonna be more shocking revelations to be revealed. Something I definitely am looking forward to.
Since I was expecting Deviant Knight to be kind of similar to Stella and Seb’s story, minus a few details here and there. Tracy Lorraine definitely surprised me with the start to Emmie and Theo’s story, especially since it wasn’t as similar as I expected it to be.
Once again another cliffhanger to end the story the way Tracy only knows how. Though I'm not complaining since while it was surprising, thankfully it was heart attack shocking. But that doesn’t mean I am not going to be waiting in anticipation for the next book to come to see what happens next.
*I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Deviant Knight: Knight Ridge Empire #4
Authour: @tracy_lorraine_author
"My fucking need for this woman, despite the fact that she drives me to the edge of insanity, clearly knows no bounds. Just like my complete lack of care for her privacy."
"It was dangerous— I was more than aware that he spent more time with his eyes on my body than he did with them on the road. But there are worse ways to go. At least I’d have died knowing I was driving him to the brink of insanity."
Theo, The brutal, ruthless, monster his father created. Emmie is just a job, a game, a pawn to be completed so, it should be easy to get what he wants from her because he hates her. He doesn't have to suffer from the consequences, but he's fighting strong feelings that he shouldn't have for her. He can't trust her. He can't want her.
Emmie hates Theo just as much as he hates her. So why does she catch herself thinking and looking for him? He's the enemy she can't have.
The chemistry between these two is off the charts hot🔥. So much lust, desire and hate between these two. Can their secrets from each other destroy what they've started together? Can Emmie forgive Thoe's lies and secrets? Can Theo get Emmie to trust him so she can share her secrets with him?
So much happened in this book and I am all for it, this is just the beginning for these two and I can't wait to learn more. Of course killer cliffhanger! Tracy, you're killing it with these characters I'm so invested. I cannot get enough of your writing style always keeps me on my toes. The foreshadowing in this book was amazing!

Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆ Heat: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Angst: 💣💣💣💣💣 Plot: 📚📚📚📚📚
Do I recommend? HELL YES!
Tropes: dark high school, Bully, mafia romance
They always say keep your friends close and your enemies closer. They couldn’t have been more right. Emmie is a MC princess and Theo is a mafia prince. Both are from opposite sides of the track but you couldn’t have been more made for each other. Their chemistry was explosive and undeniable. The twists and turns had me flipping pages faster than ever while I stayed perched on the edge of my seat, dying to know what would happen next. There is one hell of a cliffhanger that had me DYING for book two in this second trilogy in this series.
I am seriously loving this series and Tracy Lorraine has quickly become one of my favorite authors. My love for her creativity knows no bounds. This is my honest opinion, freely given.

I don't usually write reviews for my 3 Stars rated books but honestly I just need to rant.
I picked this because I wanted to read something different and for the dozens if not hundreds of 4/5 stars reviews but half the book I was baffled!
Where's the fucking story in this, there's a storyline sure but it's like nothing is really going on except Theo and Emmie's lustful moments.
Emmie is badass/kickass? Please don't talk big talk when you don't back it up! Sure she's not a doormat and doesn't take shit lying down but where's the action? The scary girl who plays with knives??
I'll admit something though, the steamy scenes were sizzling hot and I really appreciated all the sexual build up before the big finale! Makes it all very enticing and that's quite rare in NA books.
